Sectors such as the real estate market, technology companies, e-commerce and supermarket chains already accept payment in virtual currencies. Now, cryptocurrencies are starting to gain ground in the aviation industry. The technology used in these operations, called blockchain, makes transactions virtually immediate.

 

Editor's Note – In our knowledge with this announcement, Amaro Aviation becomes the innovator in the business aviation sector in Brazil in accepting the Bitcoin payment method. Since 2021, cryptocurrencies have become a “center of attention” for investors and heated up the investment market, with high valuations due to decentralization. Country El Salvador is already used Bitcoin as currency in the country. Another example is the car manufacturer Tesla has also started to accept payment in bitcoin.

 

The new payment method will soon be available for purchasing quotas, chartering and fleet management – ​​with maintenance, catering, crew, among other items. The company will also accept payment in cryptocurrencies for those who want to rent aircraft acquisition quotas or purchase flight hour packages.

 

“Cryptocurrency payment is a trend that has room to be further explored in the business aviation market. With this novelty, we started to expand business opportunities and offer more convenience to customers”, said Marcos Amaro, founder of Amaro Aviation.

 

Amaro Aviation has ten aircraft in the fleet. Three of them are available for shared ownership. The first is the revolutionary Swiss Pilatus PC-24 jet, designed to operate on short runways and even without paving. The second is a Gulfstream G550, an aircraft configured for 16 occupants, designed for ultra-long stages in absolute comfort and safety. The G550 can fly, for example, between São Paulo and Moscow nonstop.

 

Finally, there is the newly arrived Pilatus PC-12 NGX, considered the best aircraft in the world in its category. And it will allow Amaro customers absolute flexibility to operate in a wide range of missions, airport types and travel durations, from ultra-long-range intercontinental flights to short local flights to unprepared runways.

 

As for the other seven aircraft, Amaro Aviation performs fleet management. The company takes care of all operational aspects, including maintenance, purchasing and supplies, crew, catering, among other services.

 

Who is Amaro Aviation?

 

Founded in 2020 in São Paulo, Amaro Aviation is a private business aviation company. The company, conceived by Marcos Amaro, son of Captain Rolim Amaro, soon attracted investors and tried to assemble a team of top executives, combining professionals with extensive previous experience in the executive and commercial aviation sectors.

 

Amaro Aviation works with the following modalities of commercial action in business aviation:

 

Amaro Owner - Fractional Ownership program (shared ownership). It allows customers to purchase aircraft shares at a fraction of the original acquisition cost, ensuring the convenience of owning their own private aircraft.

 

Amaro Partner - the product category that is equivalent to a subscription. For the customer who still frequently uses the aircraft, but is not willing to bear the same acquisition costs as the Amaro Owner category. In practice, it would be like renting out the acquisition quotas of the Amaro Owner category.

 

Amaro Flyer - allows you to purchase packages of hours of use of the aircraft with a series of advantages, at extremely competitive prices. There are three annual flight hours packages, with 150, 100 or 50 hours of operation per year. Reservations can be made up to 72 hours before departure. The time spent on the ground between trips is up to six hours.

 

Amaro On-Demand - operating mode that is similar to the traditional air taxi service. This category perfectly serves customers whose annual demand is less than 15 annual hours of use. Amaro Aviation is only awaiting the completion of the authorization process for this type of operations, which should be completed in the coming months, subject to the approval of the authorities.

 

AMARO also has the aircraft management service, Amaro Management, offering complete management of your aircraft or your entire fleet. In this product, Amaro takes care of all aspects related to the operation of an aircraft: maintenance, availability of aircraft and crew, authorizations and notifications, purchases of supplies, catering, legal aspects and financial management.
